Fits and will keep the flying insects out
After discovering and removing a bee hive from the insulation around my trailer refrigerator, I bought these screens. They attach with three zip ties per screen but left a small gap between the ties that would be too small for an insect to get in but aesthetically was not good. A couple more zip ties that I had solved the issue.

It'll do
Slightly too big but I shoved them in there. I feel it's kind of ridiculous they only give you 2 zip ties to use for each grate. It needs for sure 3 zips per grate so you can have a zip in the middle. Classic skimp on a product that we already overpaid for (this thing probably cost $2 for the manufacturer to make, if that). I wish the ends of these were not curved because as you can see in my photos and from tons of other reviewers, that curve leaves a hole big enough for a wasp or whatever to get in there. Why make it curved?! I'm going to leave mine here and see how they do. They cover 98% of the gap so it'll do for now.

It’s a must have!!
Purchased 2 sets for my trailer. They were easy to install and I don’t see anymore bee issues behind my refrigerator.

Not too bad
I had to modify all 3 of these in order for them to sit properly and ensure no bugs can fly into the gaps. If you are handy with a grinder, you should be all set. Oh, and a few more plastic tie straps would help.

Camco, you can do better than this.
Camco is a company that has made a business out of making products that should have been included as original equipment on RVs. Campers are full of large openings that invite mice and nest building wasps, hornets and bees. These insect protectors help to solve this problem while making a stylish addition with their flashy chrome edges on our otherwise boring, black vents. Nice! They are fairly easy to install using zip ties to secure them. The instructions state that some cutting may be necessary for a proper fit. I had to remove about 1/8" from each end with a Dremel tool cut-off disk. Here is where my delight stopped. While my refrigerator vents have a fairly small radius in the corner, these custom fit Camco screens come with a very large radius, leaving a huge gap in every corner. This pretty much negated the benefit as every hornet worth its salt will continue to probe until it finds this opening. As you can see, in the last picture, I resolved the problem by making additional corner pieces to cement into place. If you do not have a 3D printer handy however, you will need to craft some other solution. Good luck, you have been warned.

Fit like a glove and installed in minutes!
Fit like a glove and installed in minutes. Friends had bees set up housekeeping in the fridge vent area of their trailer so I've seen the trouble insects can cause. The real driver for me though, is keeping rodents out. I've seen so many people lately getting mice in their RV's that I'm determined to make my RV as mouse resistant as I possibly can. I bought some screen at a hardware store and tried to make my own set of screens for my fridge vent. It didn't take me very long to figure out that I should have ordered these in the first place!
